After the trailer of “Mulk” starring Taapsee Pannu and Rishi Kapoor was launched, director Anubhav Sinha has been subjected to harsh social media bashing.
“Mulk” is based on a true event and tells the story of a Muslim m family trying to reclaim its lost reputation.
Due to the intense and powerful theme of the movie, trolls accused the director, Anubhav Sinha for being biased to one religion (Islam). They also said that this movie has been funded by political parties and terrorist groups.
Anubhav Sinha took to his Twitter account and shared a letter to all the critics and explained his position over the whole matter and why “Mulk” is an important movie.

He wrote, “You know what, people you troll have careers and a life. They come here whenever they can find time and go back to their lives and careers and you move on to the other target your master doesn’t like. You do this day in and day out. This, my friend, has never been a career in any part of the world.”
Sinha explained, “Mulk. No it is not funded by Dawood Ibrahim. You can ask him. Not even Congress. You can ask Rahul (Gandhi). Not even the RSS. You can check with Mohan Bhagwatji. It is funded by Mr Deepak Mukut and his father Kamal Mukut, a veteran in this business.”
He further added, “No… Every post of mine is not about Mulk. We are spending crores of rupees promoting the film, we spent even more making it. These tweets are just a very minor part of the campaign and like I said, we do have a life,” he further wrote. “And a voice, so outside of our work, we do talk.”
Sinha clarified what the movie really is about and insisted everyone to go and watch the film. “Mulk is a very nice film. It is not doing what you think it is doing. It is not about your masters. Hindus or Muslims. It is about you and it is about me and mostly it is about us. Please do write back the real nasty ones, but do go watch the film. You will still like it, because I know, a bit of you is still alive inside you.”
